Copper is considered one of the first technical metals used by humans. With the development of civilization, it is used to create technical tools, water sterilization, communications, transport, and electric power. Its ability to conduct heat and energy, killing bacteria and viruses, makes it a very promising material for clothing of the future.

Vollebak team ventured into a new experiment and created a jacket consisting of about 11 kilometers of copper wire. Copper takes up 65% of the material in terms of composition, and the Swiss c_change ® membrane from Schoeller adds functionality as an outer shell. Most recently, TIME magazine awarded it the status of "Best Invention of 2020", and we were able to capture and test it.

In our recent TECHUNTER 06 ONLINE digital issue, we also spoke with Steve about the past, the present, and the future of innovations, as well as the design for a hundred years to come. The English version is available at the link.
